Every natural stones has its own hardness. Our stones have a hardness of 9 based on the European scale which ranges from 0 till 10. This means that our stones do not need a seal coating and are easy to maintain and to be cleaned. For example, should the stones have a layer of algae and moss at the end of the winter season, the stones can easily be cleaned by rinsing the stones with water.
